Starting from the carb and working back, check the following. The Weber has an internal fuel filter. It is located beneath the connection for the fuel line. Remove the large brass bolt. The filter is within.
Inline fuel filter if your car has one. It could be between the fuel pump and the carb or between the fuel pump and the metal line that goes to the fuel tank.
Fuel tank full of crap.

These are the three things that I would first think of. My 122 had all three. At high speed, a partially blocked fuel line cannot provide fuel at a rate that matches the needs of the engine.
